Anthropic joins climate coalition with funding

AI startup Anthropic has joined the Frontier carbon removal collective, contributing to a new $915 million funding tranche. This marks Anthropic as the first AI company to join the group, which now has $1.8 billion in total pledges. Frontier has contracted over 50 projects to remove 1.8 million tons of carbon. Anthropic's move is significant as AI companies are known for high energy consumption. This is Anthropic's first climate-related deal, potentially signaling a shift in the company's approach to energy and sustainability.
